I am afraid that I am not enough familiar with the topic yet, but I guess that it is more flexible than the traditional transform attribute which can only transform an element as a whole and not its different components (such as stroke, fills and markers). So I assume that with vector effects you could fill an element, then apply veAffine and then stroke an element (resulting in an offset for the stroke compared to the fill). As an example, one could do assymetric strokes using this technology. stroking from the center of the line just to the inside or outside and not symmetrically.
I'll let other people comment here who probably know this part better. There might be lots of other use cases.
